How are you? 00;01;16;03 - 00;01;23;17 You know, Chris, today I'm a little emotional, right? What's going on in the world, but we're going to take it to a new direction here, I think, with our topic today. 00;01;23;29 - 00;01;49;09 Got it. Ten today. We're talking about emotional intelligence, why it matters. Some of the key components to consider when you're thinking about how effective are you, what are you doing to prepare yourself to go out and influence others in a way that they can see what you're asking for, they can understand it. And then more importantly, something happens as a result of that. 00;01;49;09 - 00;01;50;05 There's action taken. 00;01;51;21 - 00;02;13;05 You know, Chris, you know, I think about this a little bit is, you know, IQ, right?
